I ran a patch on one of my BFG 305-50/15 tires for years and never had a problem. They say that you lose the speed rating on the tire, once you repair it, but I never figured out what the rating would be. The tire that I had repaired had many 140 mph runs and it never failed, however the runs never lasted more than a minute or so.
